More guns putting lives in danger because of a misinterpreted document written hundreds of years ago. Totally normal.
I appreciate that CHS and jseattle reliably report the crime in the area, often times the only outlet where you can find it, however when the headline starts with “no injuries” followed by gunfire, 100 gunshots, turned over suv,…. it tends to tamp down the seriousness of these incidents.
We should all be outraged, the fact that there are no injuries in these incidents is a miracle.
Appreciate you, but please stop burying the lead.
